Combine 2 C flour, along with sugar, salt, baking powder and yeast in your mixing bowl, and mix for about 1 minute until well blended.

Meanwhile, mix milk and water in a small sauce pan and heat until warm (about 2 minutes on low). Pour into the flour mixture and mix with the dough hook for 2 minutes.

Add the remaining flour, 1/2 C at a time, and mix for 3-5 minutes with the mixer. Dough may be a bit sticky.

Grease a loaf pan and sprinkle with cornmeal, if desired. Spread the dough into the pan, cover and let rise for about 45 minutes, or until doubled. To facilitate faster rising, microwave a cup of water until it boils, then place the bread pan with the dough into the steamy microwave – and allow it to rise.

Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes.

Cool and slice to serve.

We’ve made this numerous times – here’s an oldie photo from the inaugural batch!

When cooking, please make sure to follow kitchen hygiene and safety -- cook meat until internal temperature is at safe levels, always check labels for allergens, and use caution in the kitchen -- I love sharing recipes, but I am not liable for damages done as a result of trying these recipes.
